Beginner sewing class at Heretaunga Women's Centre needs items please
I will be taking a beginner sewing class at Heretaunga Women's Centre from 25 July and would really love donations of the following to help please; any cotton thread, large pieces of fabric, if you have a sewing machine that still goes and does at least straight and zigzag stitch that is just sitting in a cupboard, dressmaking scissors, any bobbins, needles, pins, sewing patterns (old ones are fine as well as more recent), even wool, embroidery thread, zips - actually any of the sewing things you have in your cupboards that need a new home rather than being thrown out.
Contact me or Heretaunga Women's Centre directly
Please pass this message on to anybody that you think might be able to help
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
